Hey everybody.  I'm about the replace the wood in the bed of my 1/2 ton, and
was hoping someone could share some experience with me.  I've about decided
that I can't beat the prices locally that suppliers are charging for pre-cut
bed wood strips, so I'm getting ready to order a set.  I'm probably going to
go with yellow pine, which I understand is what originally came with the
truck.  My question is:  Is there much difference in the quality of wood
provided through the various vendors?  What should I look out for?  I plan
to finish the wood myself, but should I order the strips pre-drilled?  I am
currently looking at a couple of suppliers -- Jim Carter and an outfit I
found on the Internet called "Mar-K" that seems to specialize in bed wood.
Prices are about the same.  Has anyone done business with Mar-K before and
were you satisfied?  How about Jim Carter for wood?  I've bought a fair
amount of parts from them and have been generally satisfied, but didn't know
anything about replacement wood.  Are there other suppliers that people on
the list would recommend?  I would  appreciate your sharing your experience.
